It isn't a tank. It's a triangle. Tanks also don't have infinite ammo. We make concessions to unreality all the time in the name of making things more fun.

And this isn't an arcade. It's a web page. It's a common courtesy to people visiting web pages to not get immediately blasted with sound at the high end of the range.

And yet, this game was clearly intended to be a throback to old arcade games. And old arcade games like this typically modeled tanks (and didn't have strafing). Old arcade games also DID have loud music like this, and as I noted above the whole arcade was full of these competing sounds.
